Hi all!
We are a married couple with a 7 year old and have just picked a Cavapoo. He will be ready by the end of February (nearly 10 wells old) to be brought back home.
Our plan for the moment consists on me taking a full week off work to help him settle a little. I work 9-5, but only 10 minutes away from home, so I will be able to do frequent trips home as needed. My wife can work three days a week from home and for the days that she is not working from home, more than likely we will get some help (some home visits). I do not expect for the puppy to be without a break for max 3 hours at a time. We are planning to start created training as soon as he comes home and focusing on leaving crate open with the water dispenser inside for him to get used to it. As well we will be starting leaving him on his own there a little bit in the beginning, introducing longer periods slowly. We will be giving him entertaining toys with treats (don’t know how they’re called, but those toys that would take him a while to take the treat out) specifically for crate time so he has a good reinforcement to get inside and hopefully be entertained for a while.
Any suggestions?
